Demon Slayer and Heart Bread ANTIQUE Announce First-Ever Collaboration With Character-Themed Bread, Sweets, and New Ufotable Artwork

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is teaming up with bakery chain Heart Bread ANTIQUE for the first time, announcing a set of breads, desserts, merchandise, and exclusive ufotable artwork.

The limited-time collaboration will run from July 1 until August 31 under the theme “Fuwari, Hitoiki Pan Roman” (“A Soft Breath, A Bread Romance”). The campaign features new artwork from ufotable featuring members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The new visual features Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, Giyu Tomioka, Shinobu Kocho, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Muichiro Tokito, and you can check it out below.

Character-Inspired Bread Lineup

The collaboration introduces several original menu items based on fan-favorite characters:

• Demon Slayer Chocolate Banana Ring inspired by a summer chocolate banana treat
• Tanjiro’s Total Concentration Pull-Apart Bread, recreating his recognizable green-and-black checkered haori pattern
• Nezuko’s Bamboo Strawberry Bread, featuring Amao strawberry filling and whipped cream
• Zenitsu’s Thunderclap Egg Bread, designed after Zenitsu’s Thunder Breathing
• Inosuke’s Fluffy Meat Bun Bread, inspired by Inosuke’s “fluffy” moments
• Giyu’s Beef Bread, filled with charcoal-grilled beef and mayonnaise
• Shinobu’s Wisteria Croissant, flavored with purple sweet potato
• Mitsuri’s Strawberry Fresh Donut, featuring pink and green colors inspired by the Love Hashira
• Muichiro’s Neko Neko Bread: Ramune Edition, featuring a mist-like design inspired by Muichiro’s Mist Breathing

The collaboration will also feature merchandise using the new ufotable artwork, including:

• Trading acrylic keychains
• Acrylic blocks
• Can badges
• Nameplates
• Clear bottles

The Sugar Rusk release includes one random sticker from a collection featuring 11 Demon Slayer Corps members, with both standard and holographic variants available. Some characters who do not appear in the bakery menu items will still be featured through the collectible sticker lineup.

Selected Heart Bread ANTIQUE locations will also feature life-size character displays for photo opportunities throughout the collaboration period.

The collaboration arrives just weeks before the July 29 Blu-ray and DVD release of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle Arc Chapter 1: Akaza Returns.
